I woke up this morning to my wife's alarm clock which she has set to a local radio station (92.5). I laid in bed and listened to them do some sort of trivia thing called odd facts or something. Anyway, they started with this statement:
"All the continents begin and end with the same letter." (This came from some book, and I'm not sure why it ignores "North" and "South" or if the odd fact was read incorrectly...)
As the hosts, it sounded like four people, discussed this they related the following "facts" from their own knowledge:
-North and South America are a single continent, because you can drive from one to the other.
-That "fact" was then called into question when a female host pointed out that she thought it was two and they were "americas". But that ended in "s", which couldn't be right...
-Then they thought maybe it was just one called America.
-Africa was never mentioned.
They ended the segment by declaring that fact to be bogus and moved onto another one. I turned off the radio.
